FEATURES

Four 15-in woofers maximize LF output

Horn-loaded 10-in cone mid frequency section with Radial Phase Plug™

Horn-loaded 2-in exit/3-in voice coil HF compression driver

Asymmetrical horn loading directs coverage down

when positioned flush to wall

High-output system designed to deliver the extreme level requirements of high energy dance clubs

DESCRIPTION

The DC1 is engineered for use in permanent installations. The system includes four 15-in woofers in two optimally vented enclosures, a horn-loaded 10-in midrange and a 2-in exit/3-in voice coil high frequency compression driver on a 90° (h) x 40° (v) dispersion constant directivity horn.

The system comprises three separate enclosures – a central mid/high section flanked by two LF enclosures. The mid/high horn dispersion is vertically asymmetrical (+10°,-30°). Each pair of woofers in the LF section is mounted in a push/pull configuration to minimize mechanical distortion.

A complex asymmetrical internal passive crossover/filter net- work provides MF/HF subsystem integration. An MX Series Close Coupled Processor™ should integrate the LF and MF/HF subsystems.

APPLICATION

The DC1 bi-amplified three-way dance club system provides high output, high definition reinforcement for large sized clubs. Overall design is robust to ensure reliability in the face of continuous peak output operation.

The DC1’s asymmetrical horns direct coverage down when the enclosures are mounted flush to a wall. The enclosure includes balance-optimized threaded mounting points.

Like all EAW products, it can be special ordered in virtually any color to match a specific décor. Six year warranty.
